[solved] Compressing textures to save space?
Hey people. This will probably sound funny, but on my gaming (sorta) computer I only have 3.7 GB of space left. On my netbook, which can't run UT2004 at all, I still have a lot. So I wanted to play UT2004 on the gaming machine, but I don't have enough space to install it! 16Gb is taken up by Vista, so only 3.7 is left of my funny 20 GB SSD. I plan on getting a bigger HDD later, but i wanna play the game now. SO, LETS GET TO THE POINT:
I see that there's a UT2004 server version availaible, which is only what, 2.5 GB? So I looked into that, but it seems I can't play Single Player with it. The thing is, though, that the textures in the server version only take up 50MB, vs. the 2.something GB, if I'm right, in the retail version. The question is, is there any way to compress the textures in the retail version a little bit so the game can fit on my gaming PC? Just a bit. I tried UZ2 files, but then UT can't open the textures. Anyone have any idea on how to do this? Thanks.
